UEFA to announce changes to Champions League

English clubs will dominate the pot of top seeds in tomorrow’s Champions League draw but before the names are drawn out of the hat UEFA are due to announce sweeping changes to the format of the competition.

All four English representatives – Manchester United, Chelsea, Liverpool and, if they overcome Sparta Prague tonight, Arsenal – are set to be among the eight top-seeded clubs which means they will avoid holders AC Milan, Inter Milan, Real Madrid and Barcelona in the group stage of Europe’s elite club competition.
